Russia may be preparing for war with NATO
Russia may be preparing for a conventional war with NATO sooner than expected. This is according to a recent report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Economic and military indicators suggest Russia is planning a larger-scale conflict beyond the current war in Ukraine.
ISW notes that Vladimir Putin is focused on increasing Russia's economic and military capabilities. After the last presidential election, Putin met with leaders of party factions in the Russian State Duma to focus on the country's economic affairs.
Putin stressed the need to create a “new elite” that would “mature at the forefront.” ISW suggests that Putin is seeking to stabilize Russia's long-term fiscal situation by increasing government spending.
